We have temporarily suspended the ability to redeem codes on the pre-order site while we continue to investigate the ongoing issues.

Posted? Good 'ol Hitler meme

I'm not gonna lie here, they didn't try very hard with this one. It started out hilarious with the part about not understanding timezones but then completely fell apart. It also didn't make sense that the Director and Producer of the game was complaining about not being able to find a city in a game he made.

I've seen some amazing uses of this meme. This one was at best average.

I think that's what made it so funny. The idea that the guy who made the game has no idea how to play it. I might be overthinking it, but that's really funny to me. Like, what'd he do? Find the markets in Gridania, buy a fishing pole, and just do nothing else except fish and look for Limsa?

Hilarious.

I wonder if there is a way to store that stuff on the servers and pull down again. Like you could with macros in FFXI. There was a button combo to do on the character select screen or something.

I hope they will do so down the road.

You would be surprised how many devs make games but are not exactly good at them. Since unlike "gamers" most of these guys are stuck trying to get the product out the door rather than sit around playing every single inch of the virtual world. Its as a senior once told me within a company I used to work at.

"When you work in a game company, the time you have to play games vanishes."

Which is true for him considering he is a family man and has life things to take care of when he comes home late from work usually daily. Unlike others who may not have a family so can go home and do whatever they want without the same sorts of responsibilities put over them.

So the orange juice is only available in Gridania market?

 

[Knsflanagan]

This might be a silly question or already answered but if I pre-ordered the ps3 version and my wife the PC version, would we be able to interchange systems? Like would I be able to play on the PC?

You can make some with La Noscea oragnes as well.

No reason why not, considering all your account data is stored SQEX side and not on your PC / PS3.

As long as your login credentials are correct you should be good to go either way.

No, you need to buy the both platforms to be able to play on both systems.

So your wife need an extra PS3 and you another PC copy.

That way you can play on PC/PS3

Ah sorry had thought he was asking if he and his wife (both having two separate accounts) and interchanging between who uses the PC / PS3 versions. Since its similar to what I did with FF11. Had both the PS2 / PC versions. So would log in from either one with my account depending on what I wanted to play on a the time.

Yep, once the client is installed on each platform, you can access your account on any of them.

Kind of disappointing to not at least get PC complimentary with PS3. PS3's obvious just because they'd want their royalties covered, but PC doesn't have that.

Well, hopefully at least PS3 -> PC they have some sort of discount planned (at worst there'll be a great sale sooner or later), and I'll be surprised if they don't do anything on the PS3 -> PS4 front given that current gen games will get heavy discounts for the next gen versions.

Nope. Last night I noticed my members account was set to English (UK) so I changed it to English (NA) and it also says I reside in the United States. I still received an EU code.

Well there goes my theory.

I have always wondered why Squenix has separate sites for Square-Enix Members, Square-Enix Account, and Square-Enix Account Management which are all different things and you can fuck yourself if you don't register the right way to all of them.

As expected of Squenix, the code redemption is a clusterfuck. People who survived 1.0 remember how fucked up setting your account up was back then, it looks like Squenix literally hasn't learned a thing from that.

I have detailed handwritten instructions somewhere on how to log in to FFXI. Square can't do this at all.

Sigh. I just HAD to have my first class of the semester start on saturday.

I begin university on Monday and have to review FFXIV for work. I feel you, brotha.

 

[koji kabuto]

Does this game have downloadable version for the ps3?
Or i must buy the physical version?

I think there's a digital version on the PS Store, but I'm not too sure.

So he'd have to have two installs on each system for what he's wanting to do? That seems like a waste.

We do indeed.

Excellent job too, for those that contributed. That OT is flawless!
